It should already be installed as part of the default PuTTY installation, or it can be downloaded from the PuTTY website as a standalone executable.

Can you help me with the setup / syntax of the same ? I have Plink on my windows box. I need to upload a file to unix server X using Winscp command line and the use Plink to execute a script x.sh on the same unix server X.

So I am just looking for having to execute a single command .cmd from windows to do the above jobs for me.

I tried the below command but strangely it fails.

Code:

plink user1@remotehostip -m local_script.sh -v
....
....
Password:
Access granted
Opened channel for session
Started a shell/command
mv: cannot stat `/tmp/folderwow1'Server sent command exit status 1
Disconnected: All channels closed
: No such file or directory

When i execute the same mv command from Putty after login in it succeeds.

the command in local_script.sh is

Code:

mv /tmp/folderwow1 /tmp/foldermohtashim

The only difference i saw which may not be concerning here is that loggin throught putty asked me for the password of user1 twice while plink command via windows asked for the password just once.

Kindly help.

qstart

qstart(8B)								PBS								qstart(8B)

NAME

       qstart - start pbs batch job processing at a destination

SYNOPSIS

       qstart destination ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  qstart  command directs that a destination should process batch jobs.  If the destination is an execution queue, the server will begin
       to schedule jobs that reside in the queue for execution.  If the destination is a routing queue, the server will begin to route	jobs  from
       that queue.

       In order to execute qstart, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege.

OPERANDS

       The qstart command accepts one or more destination operands.  The operands are one of three forms:
	    queue
	    @server
	    queue@server
       If queue is specified, the request is to start that queue at the default server.  If the @server form is given, the request is to start all
       queues at that server.  If a full destination identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to start the  named  queue  at	the  named
       server.

STANDARD ERROR

       The qstart command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qstart command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qstart command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
